In the light of last week's tragic massacre in the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, I wanted to see how a news-oriented comedy podcast would handle the event. My go-to in such circumstances is The Bugle, with John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman.

Both are British comedians and longtime friends but, with Oliver's stint on The Daily Show, followed by his celebrated kickoff season as host of HBO's Last Week Tonight, they've teamed up long distance across the Atlantic for years to keep The Bugle alive.
